Lyrics - Breathe - Anna Nalick

2 am and she calls me cause I’m still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don’t love him
Winter just wasn’t my season

Yeah, we walk through the door
So accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you’re all here for the very same reason

Cause you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hour glass glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl
So cradle you head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

May, he turned 21 on a base at fort bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask on his face
Ain’t been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he’s been down for a while
But my God it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him, maybe I’ll just think about it

Cause you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hour glass glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button boy
So cradle you head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

There’s a light at each end of this tunnel you shout
Cause you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
These mistakes you make
You’ll just make them again
If you only tried turning around

2 am and I’m still awake writing a song
If I get it all down on paper
It’s no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to

And I feel like I’m making it in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diaries screaming out loud
And I won’t let you use them
However you want to

Cause you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hour glass glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
And sing it if you understand
And breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
